Pros:
-- Course is extremely well designed and is fun to play.
-- Land is very well used. Elevation, trees and water are all there. Elevation starts right off the bat. No. 1 is seriously downhill to a hanging basket; two and three are uphill, into or out of woods. You stay in the woods through the No. 7 tee. No. 13 is wide open but seriously downhill. Fourteen is similar but with the added benefit of a pond 30 feet right of the basket. Fifteen has a 150-200 foot water carry but offers a short tee that takes the water carry out. Then you've got an uphill throw. Seventeen is a long hole that starts uphill; you've got a plateau after that before serious downhill to a basket 20 feet right of a pond with OB 30 feet past the basket.
-- Multiple tees per hole.
-- Distance variation is excellent. It's difficult to be completely accurate without tee signs or permanent tees, but between the two sets of tees, you've probably got 8 holes that can play 250 feet or shorter and five that can play longer than 400 feet. Two of those check in at 600 or longer.
-- Basket placement often requires accurate drives on approaches. That starts with No. 3, where an OB fence sits about 10 feet left of the basket. Seven has OB 10 feet past the basket, and 17 has OB 30 feet past the basket and water 20 feet left of the basket. Add in baskets on or at the edge of sloping ground, and accuracy is important.
-- You walk right by your car between holes 8 and 9, making restocking mid round easy.

Cons:
-- Infrastructure is poor. Baskets are low quality and a mishmash. Tee pads are natural and are marked by flags in the ground.
-- No tee signs. The tee flags in the ground aren't the easiest to see from a distance. That makes navigation an issue. I played with someone who knew the layout, so it wasn't an issue for me.
-- No restroom.
-- No map.

Other Thoughts:
-- Horses are on the property. On one hole, our duo landed a shot 20 feet in front of a horse and 20 feet behind a horse.
-- This is a private course with another quality course (maintained by the same extended family) across the street. The amount of work it takes to keep this course in good shape is amazing, and we should be thankful we are allowed to benefit from that work. Please make sure to call ahead to set up a tee time (Wade Duncan, 601-486-3896; Bruce Bullock, 601-616-6457).
-- If the infrastructure from the other course on the property (concrete tee pads with brooms, signs, quality baskets) was here, this course would easily be a 4.5.
